DIPLOMACY, FOR THE MOMENT, APPEARS TO BE forestalling any possible
military action - UN Secretary General Kofi Annan offered no comment as
he left the security council meeting...the American representative,
Peter Burleigh - wouldn't say if the latest Iraqi communications -
including a letter signed by Ambassador Nizar Hamdoon - will be
sufficient to lead to a standdown of the massive American military
presence being assembled in the Persian gulf:
()

earlier in the day National Security Advisor Sandy Berger had rejected
an initial Iraqi position - which the white house said put unacceptable
conditions on resumption of inspections of possible chemical and
biological weapons sites by UN experts.
But by the end of the evening it seemed Iraq had blinked...

There was no official statement issued by the security council as a
whole. the council is scheduled to resume its discussion of Iraq in mid
